Sex And The City - The Characters And Their Fashion

by Lola Jasminia

Don’t watch Sex And The City with the intention of trying to define or categorize Carrie Bradshaw’s sense of style. Because there is no definition. Carrie, played by actress Sarah Jessica Parker, is the most fashion-forward of the group and a peek into her closet will reveal everything from vintage wear to Gap Jeans to haute couture. The mix is outrageous and fun! While Manolos are always a must, each season, Carrie offers up a different, signature fashion statement ” her nameplate necklace in season 1, the flower pins in season 2, then Fendis, then gloves, then hats,….

One of Carrie’s dearest friends, Samantha Jones is a high-powered PR executive by day - wearing beautiful, designer suits of vivid colors with figure hugging styles. In the evening, though, watch out as Sam changes into her TRUE colors to show the vixen that she really is!

Another of Carrie’s dear friends, Miranda Hobbes, chooses to dress a little more professionally during the day. As an attorney, her position calls for smart, dark suits, and she wears them very well. She prefers sneakers and sweats on the weekends but in the evening, watch out! This redhead is a real knockout!

Miss Park Avenue, Charlotte York, is perhaps the most prim and proper of the characters on Sex And The City. Her perfectly coordinated designer wear is always crisp and fresh with nary a hair out of place. Even when she jogs, everything matches! And talk about evening wear! Charlotte is the reason little black dresses were invented!

As the Main Man on Sex And The City, Mr. Big is a successful New York businessman who prefers his Armani suits. And he wears them very well! We don’t see Big in jeans or sweats. He’s not that kind of guy. We see him in Black Armani, Black limos or….a bed!

Steve Brady prefers his jeans and T-shirts above all else. He doesn’t even own a suit. In fact, when he finally needs one, Miranda buys it for him. But who can resist this boyish, fun-loving guy with big, blue eyes and an even bigger heart?

The man who eventually captures Charlotte’s heart, Harry Goldenblatt, is short, bald, very hairy and somewhat of a schlupp. But he’s so lovable! As an attorney, he dresses in smart, professional suits during the day. But in the morning and on his days off, he much prefers his birthday suit!

Smith - ya just gotta love him! He’s so dedicated to Samantha and he puts up with so much crap from her. As an aspiring actor and fashion model, we get to see Smith with a lot of different looks. And he looks great in anything from jeans to suits to leather….to nothing! Absolut, indeed!
